Top Objects — Show the busiest objects. Which objects are
considered depends on the level set in the Graph Settings dialog box.
■
Top Connections — Shows the busiest connections. Which
connections are considered depends on the Level and Unit Total set in

Because the necessary calculations can be lengthy, the status bar at the
bottom of the Launch Graph dialog box shows a progress bar. When the
progress bar is full, Traffix Manager has finished calculating the charts.
Graph Settings You use the Graph Settings dialog box to control the display of charts in
the Launch Graph dialog box. The options are:
■
Scope — The comparative point of reference for all the connections.
If devices or groups are selected in the Map, you can produce a graph
for either the
Busiest Talkers among the objects selected, the Busiest
Listeners or the Busiest Link . If a connection is selected in the Map,
you can produce a graph for the traffic going in either or both
directions between the two objects.
■
Units — The unit of measurement used when calculating the charts.
■
Media Type — Only active if bits per second or % utilization are
selected in the Units field.
■
Fixed/Automatic/Logarithmic scaling — If automatic scaling is
selected, Traffix Manager adjusts the size of the bars in each chart to
fill the space available.
